Your next quilt could become famous! Whether it’s an art quilt, log cabin quilt, or even a rag quilt, your quilt could make it big in New York City. Cherrywood Fabrics is hosting the Cherrywood Challenge 2016 in conjunction with the Disney Theatrical Group’s The Lion King musical. The Lion King is celebrating its 20th Anniversary in November 2017.
In addition, we’re giving away one The Lion King Challenge fabric bundle to a lucky winner of our comment contest that will run from April 29th to May 13th, 2016. Scroll down to find out how to enter!
When you enter your quilt pattern into the Cherrywood Challenge, you’ll have the chance for your quilt to be hung in front of Times Square!
The deadline for entry is July 1, 2016 and the entry fee is $45.00, which includes the registration fee, shipping fee, and one yard of hand-dyed fabric (one fat quarter each of black and the three official Cherrywood Lion King golds).
Finalists will be notified a week after the deadline. First place will win a $650 gift card from Cherrywood and two tickets to see The Lion King on Broadway!
Use Cherrywood hand-dyed fabric for this quilt challenge and let the wildness of the Africa inspire you to create something stunning. Their fabrics almost look like they’re made out of suede not cotton, but don’t let the luxurious feel of them make you hesitate to cut them up. Cherrywood wants your best quilt pattern to be seen by as many people possible with this challenge just like when Rafiki lifts up baby Simba in The Lion King.
Quilts are something to celebrate and you want to use the best fabric available with Cherrywood Hand Dyed Fabrics. Be sure to check out our current giveaways on FaveQuilts and enter for your chance to win a variety of quilting tools, fabric, books and more. We launch a new giveaway every since week!
